Title: Font used in BS "Aircraft List"
Post by: F-GITJ on December 29, 2022, 02:32:10 PM
Hi!

Would someone happen to know which font is being used for the data displayed in the Aircraft List (Code, Callsign, Reg, ICAO, Country, Altitude, etc. fields) ?

I like to take screenshots of special aircraft recveived and add data manually to the screenshot should there be a Callsign missing (=not received) for example.

Many thanks in advance and Happy New Year 2023 to everyone !

:-)

My guess is MS Sans Serif but not positive.  See attached example.

Do you only want to edit your screenshot?

Hi!

Many thanks for your fast reply!

Yes, just wanting to edit the screenshots, otherwise I'm fine with the font used in the aircraft list.

I tried all the MS fonts available in my CS4, unfortunately none of them matches 100%.

On the image attached I used 'MS Reference Sans Serif' to add the reg '9H-FAB' which looks fairly nice, but isn't exactly the same.

---------------------

The flags are bigger on the screenshots than the original downloaded flags from the forum, maybe the font is also going through some sort of change when being displayed in BS?

I also added the 9H-FAB flag manually but had to enlarge it to 129x30px to make it fit with the others.

---------------------

If I may add one other question, is there any guide available on how to make your own flags?

I have no problem copying a re-sized a/c silhouette from a photo found online into a small rectangle with white background, add some lettering or logos, but I'm not sure how to get the "flag look" of the other flags I see here on the gallery?

Thanks again!

What app are you using to grab the screenshot and add the reg?

Can I ask why you're doing this and not adding the registration to the database?

In my HyperSnap app the font matches exactly!

See attached.  G-ECOR has been added in the callsign column under BAW179 and it matches the existing registration

There is a Guide on how to create logos and silhouettes:
